Jack John Carter 15/8/2011 – 31/10/2011 I’d like thank you all for coming to remember our special little boy Jack. For the short time Jack was with us he brought joy and happiness to everyone who was fortunate to meet him. Jack will be remembered in so many ways by so many people that everyone will have their own memories to cherish and to hold on to. I will personally remember Jack from the first moment I saw him on the scan as you could tell he was going to have Toya’s nose. We talked about what he might look like and what features he would take from Toya and I. Thankfully he didn’t have my ears and we will never know if he would have had ginger hair, however going on the fact that certain people from both sides of the family are ginger he wouldn’t of had much luck. Jack had a photo shoot session with Tyler and Ruby in Bristol and it was as if he knew when to pose, and for an hour behaved in a manner that made me so proud to be Jacks dad. Towards then he was getting a bit tired and in between the final shots he had to have his dummy to make sure he didn’t kick off. I know that the photographer himself took to Jack and was able to take some great photos. We even managed to get the unedited photos and the faces he pulled in the some of them were priceless, his funny frowns, his simple looks and serious stares all of which were what we loved and adored about him. I will miss being able to do the things that every father does with his son like playing in the park and pushing him in the swing, taking him fishing and seeing him land his first little tiddler. Even though he was too young to understand and wouldn’t of had much choice Jack is a Liverpool fan. Unfortunately we will never get the chance to watch them play until we meet again where we will have the best seats in the house from the clouds above. Jack, you opened my eyes to a lot things and gave me so many first moments that I cant thank you enough for. Before you were born I was scared that when it came to changing your bum I would be too heavy handed and break you, but you helped me through my fears and it was amazing to hold you in my arms and dress you. You were so strong for a baby and sometimes it was the first thing people pointed out. Jack your personality was so unique that we would never meet anyone like you again in our lives. At only 11 weeks old you were ignorant already and I haven’t a clue where you got that from. There were times when you would go out of your way to look in the opposite direction when we tried to get your attention. How rude. But then there were times when you gave us your special smiles that made us feel as though no one else existed. So keep smiling up there The most memorable thing for me will be the laughter and smiles he brought to both Toya and myself, for the love he shared with us and for the happiness he brought to us. As much as I hate to say it he was definitely mummy’s little boy but will always be daddy’s little meathead. I love you Jack and miss you so much words cannot begin to explain. You will forever be in my heart and in my thoughts. You will never be forgotten. Sleep tight and take care little man.
